About Ann

Ann Burris is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings more than 35 years of experience across colleges and psychiatric hospital settings.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing a broad range of concerns including grief and bereavement, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. Her long career has exposed her to diverse clinical situations and helped her refine an interactive, client-focused style.

Her approach centers on helping clients recognize and build their own resilience and grit while emphasizing practical self-care and mindfulness practices. Ann meets people where they are and collaborates with them to move toward the goals they define, using techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness.

She highlights the importance of taking care of oneself as a foundation for growth and daily functioning. Ann draws inspiration from lifelong learning and treats each therapeutic journey as an opportunity for continued development.

Approaches and Online Flexibility for Care

Ann uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative relationship in which the client's priorities guide the work; this approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting people to discover their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of the toolkit and focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping with stress or anxiety. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help increase present-moment awareness and support self-care routines that can ease symptoms such as sleep disruption or rumination.

Determining which approach or combination of approaches fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Ann will work together with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and practical. The collaboration helps tailor strategies to everyday life and specific concerns like grief, trauma recovery, or attention challenges.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from where they are without travel. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional who uses CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered methods.
